Common Questions and Answers about Cpap nasal spray

The tech only brought the nose mask and a nasal pad setup with no humidifier. I tried the nasal pad and it feels like a knife going in my nose.I tried nose gel and spray. Wow, I am not a baby but this hurt. I am calling tomorrow (Monday) to let them know that, first off, I too am a mouth breather, and also need a humidifier. Thank God this first machine and mask is a test of sorts for month. They were worried about this equipment costing so much without a prescription plan.
One good option is to use nasal saline irrigation regularly, especially before you use your CPAP machine. Pick one that is vigorous or forceful, and not the gentle mist kind. Saline acts a a decongestant, and should help to open up your nose and sinus passageways.
I would also find better ways of dealing with your stress. One simple options is to learn deep-breathing exercises. You can get DVDs or videos, or even take yoga or tai chi classes. Regular exercise is also very important.
I wanted to make CPAP work better, tried prescription nasal spray, still only one nostril open. Went on an elimination diet searching for food allergies/sensitivities. Bingo. Eliminated two very common foods, and both my nostrils are now wide open with no blockage. I kept getting periodic sinus infections from the CPAP. So I have found, if I sleep on my side, and eliminate the two foods which bother me, I sleep very well without CPAP.
re in a dust-laden environment, then naturally, the hairs in your nostrils will trap the dust. But if you have allergies or any other nasal condition that causes mucous production, then this needs to be addressed. If you have trouble breathing, see you doctor or an ENT physician, who should be able to help you. Being able to breathe well through your nose is important if you want CPAP to work well.
Yes it it safe I had a cold and the doctors still recommend nasal spray for me!
The only thing that allows me to breathe is a nasal spray equivalent to afrin. I used to be addicted yrs ago but now I only use it in dire emergency....like before eating or bed because I can't sleep if I can't breathe through my nose. In the past 3 days I've only used it at night and a couple other times during the day when it was really bad! I try to hold off as long as possible without using it. And I only use 1 or 2 sprays and usually only in 1 nostril.
If it's,allergies you could take benadryl. That helps me when im sick and stuffy.
Before my surgery I had a blocked sinus cavity that I was unaware of but my ns saw it on one of my mri's. The entire prescribed fluticasone nasal spray. As soon as I started it, my snoring stopped which was a pleasant side affect, especially for my dh! Even tho the sinus is long since cleared, dh reminds me every day to use the spray lol. I don't have sleep apnea so I don't know if this would help, but I thought it was interesting.

I have seen a doc on 19 Mar and she diagnosed me with nasal congestion being the root cause of my headache. She prescribed me Nasal Spray (Nasonex), Flu Medication (Fenfedrin) and asked me to continue Panadol Actifast. Panadol Actifast has worked for me from 15 Mar until 20 Mar but since 21 Mar, Panadol Actifast doesn't work for me anymore.
I'm really at wits end because the bear can be really unbearable at times. Does anyone have such experience or know what's going on with me?
He now uses Midrin and Indomethicin for migraine abatement which is sometimes helpful and at times has to use Stadol nasal spray. He takes an aspirin a day as he was having recurrent TIAs and the risk on Coumadin was too great. He tried Plavix(was allergic) and Aggrenox which increased the headache frequency. We are just at a loss with his current neurologist and feel he is at a loss of what to do.
